HelpRe: Need opinions
in reply to a message by Ellen
Legit just asked my husband and mom this question last night.
They both thought I was saying Mabel and it took a while to explain. However, the consensus was that it is cute-sy.
That is, it makes you go "awww".
I like it. As nature-names go, I think it is pretty and girly... but don't find it as strong as some others (like Meadow, Ash or Dawn) which convey a very specific feeling or image. Maple remind me of Autumn for sure, but moreso of syrup and candy. This may be because maple harvesting is a big thing around here though.
In the end, I think it makes a unexpected and feminine choice. It might raise a few older eyebrows, but will bring a lot of smiles too. The confusion with Mabel upon first hearing the name is probably unavoidable, but that is not really a big deal.
I would use it, if I didn't have other names that I adored.
